The comedian, who is understood to be single, has pledged to spend the romantic holiday (14Feb18) reaching out to anybody feeling alone, insisting that nobody should be made to feel excluded from the day. "I don't know the full history of St Valentine but I do know it was a feast day to celebrate love and affection, not a commercial day to make anyone feel lesser, isolated or alone," Miranda posed in a message on her Twitter account, which has since been retweeted by over 9000 users. The 45-year-old encouraged her followers to share their experiences by adding the #HartsValentinesDay hashtag to their messages and also offered to bestow advice on those feeling the pressures of Valentine's. "Prepare questions, worries, ideas, and I shall impart wisdom where I can," she wrote. "But basically just know you are loved and not alone and we shall hang out and play." Since then, the star of sitcom Miranda has been dubbed a 'hero' by many Twitter users who have gone on to share their personal stories. "I've been on my own for 5 years now and it can get very lonely sometimes but to have someone to chat to for 5 minutes would make a huge difference to my life," shared fan William Anderson, who went on to describe the British Comedy Award winner as a "lovely kind caring woman." The former Call the Midwife actress has also retweeted images of animals in a bid to make her followers smile, as well as posting a selfie with her own dog Peggy, and instructed fans to complete "missions" like giving a stranger a flower and hugging a work colleague.
